Giclee Art Prints are museum-quality, cotton prints that are much thicker than our Posters. Our matte Art Prints are higher in paper quality, and are generally made for framing and high-end decor displays.
Posters are satin paper that has a glossy finish. The 8 mm, durable poster material is comparable to the posters found at movie theater displays.
FOR MORE INFO, SEE FULL PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS BELOW:
Our featured giclee Art Print is made from 100% cotton. The museum-quality paper has a high white finish, matte coating, and a silky smooth surface.

We understand that many fans purchase Ginder Factory Prints for signatures at Trade Shows and Conventions. That’s why all of our products are suitable for Sharpies and Permanent Markers.
You can, indeed, use a Sharpie/Permanent Marker on our Posters, Art Prints, and Canvases. Please allow 5-10 seconds of dry time before touching any marks on your products.

Before hanging your poster, make sure your poster is flat. See the easy flattening steps below:

Lay your poster on a flat, clean surface. We recommend laying it so that the poster image faces up.

Smooth out the poster by placing weights (i.e. books, paper weights) on the corners and in the center of your poster. Keep the weights like this for 2 to 4 hours.

Remove the weights and hang your stylish poster.

Once flat, we recommend the following steps to hang your poster:

Choose your poster-hanging method. We recommend using 3M Sticky Poster Tabs or Command Poster Strips (except if you are hanging your poster on wallpaper). These inexpensive adhesive solutions will leave no damage to your walls and will only minimally mark up the back of your poster.

Thumb tacks are the most reliable way to keep the poster from falling, but they will ultimately put holes in both your poster and wall. You can use blue poster putty, but grease marks will likely be left on the wall. Double-sided tape will not mark the wall, but will damage the poster when you remove it.

Clean the wall. If you are using an adhesive, clean the wall where you will hang your poster; we recommend applying rubbing alcohol to a cotton swab or paper towel to remove any dirty or greasy marks that may affect the wall’s adhesive quality. Let the affected areas dry for a few minutes.

Mark your Spot. Pick an exact location on the wall to hang your poster. We recommend using a T square or ruler to frame where you want the corners of your poster to go. Use a pencil to make tiny marks to keep the spot.
5.Prepare your poster. If you are using adhesive strips, attach them to each corner. We recommend adding a few additional strips along the edges of the poster, especially if you have a M, L, or XL poster. The more strips, the less likely the poster will fall. Don’t remove the backing quite yet. The same application process applies if you are using double-sided tape. Be careful not to touch your vulnerable tape; the more finger prints, the less adhesive quality.

If you are using blue sticky putty, put small dabs of it on each corner and in the middle of each side.
If you are using thumb tacks, this step does not apply.

Hang your poster. Line up your poster with your pencil marks. If you are using adhesive strips, remove the backing from the tabs and press the sticky area against the wall, top to bottom. This process also applies for double-sided tape.

If you are using putty, press the spots where the putty is from top to bottom.
If you are using thumb tacks, line up the poster with the pencil marks and tack the poster up, top corners first, then the bottom.

Begin by carefully removing any wall adhesives before handling the poster. Position your poster so that the blank, white side is facing up; this will avoid any unknown damages to the poster image during the moving process. Carefully roll your poster, starting loose and then tightening as you move half-way through the process. We recommend using two rubber bands (one at both ends) so that the bands grip the poster securely. Be careful not to secure the bands too tight, as poster creasing may occur.
No matter what situation arises, please use tender, love, and care with your poster.

We recommend applying a dry or damp cloth (water only) to any areas exposed to dirt/grease over time. Be careful not to use too much water if you choose to dampen the cloth. Also, be sure to avoid solvents like Windex, bleach, or Magic Erasers as they can potentially damage your poster.
We also cannot guarantee our products will positively react to de-acidifying sprays.

We do not recommend hanging your Canvas outdoors. Although our poly-cotton Canvases feature exceptional durability and ink quality, we cannot guarantee your Canvas will withstand what Mother Nature has in store.

Yes, our canvases are printed with latex-based ink that includes zero hazardous environmental solvents. Although we hope you hang your canvas for years to come, our wood-backed canvas frames are biodegradable, and our poly-cotton canvas material is recyclable. Ginder Factory is continuing to evolve its environmentally conscious product line and discover new, green ways to produce and deliver our products.

You will find your Wall Buddies instructions stuck to the back of your package upon delivery. If you misplace the sticker, please use the following instructions:

Place the framed piece over the WallBuddie hooks.

With a slight lifting motion slide the frame to left or right to make any minor adjustments necessary to level the frame. NOTE: With wallbuddies the hook and nail do not have to be exactly parallel. The patented saw tooth design will correct the varience.

We recommend dusting the canvas with a dry cloth or feather duster. If your canvas needs a deeper cleaning, use a lint-free, clean damp cloth with warm water and gently rub the affected areas. Be careful not to use excessive water or any cleaning products/solvents as they may damage the material.

We recommend avoiding any areas in your living space that will put your canvas in direct sunlight. Over time, direct sunlight can cause a slight fade in ink quality. Soft lit areas are the most optimal location for canvases.
Also, canvas material is not weatherproof and should be kept indoors away from high humidity and moisture.

Our Canvases feature a Gallery Wrap finish with the edges mirrored to your custom image. That means images with a frame will mirror the frame around the edges, while those without will mirror the edges of the image itself.

Unlike lithographs and serigraphs, giclee prints have undergone extensive third party fade testing. While the predicted display life depends on many variables, giclee prints made with archival pigmented inks are estimated to last over 80 years without noticeable fading.
All of our testing information comes from independent testing labs and from the manufacturers of the materials we use.

Giclee Art Prints are museum-quality, cotton prints that are much thicker than our Posters. Our matte Art Prints are higher in paper quality, and are generally made for framing and high-end decor displays.
Posters are satin paper that has a glossy finish. The 8 mm, durable poster material is comparable to the posters found at movie theater displays.

Our featured giclee Art Print is made from 100% cotton. The museum-quality paper has a high white finish, matte coating, and a silky smooth surface.

FEATURES & BENEFITS:

A great giclee print begins with a great image. Our first priority is to accurately capture your original artwork. We use the highest quality digital scanning backs from Phase One to achieve the best possible color accuracy, contrast and sharpness.
Digital enhancement, color correction and setup work are performed with the latest imaging technology. Giclee prints are then produced on our state-of-the-art Epson Stylus Pro printers, using an eight color pigmentation process with 100% archival inks and substrates.

FEATURES & BENEFITS:

Giclee printing is currently the highest quality standard for printing single or limited edition prints. The term “giclee” (pronounced “ZHEE-CLAY”) is a French word meaning “to spray.”
Giclee prints are created by spraying millions of droplets of ink onto archival fine-art substrates. The word “giclee,” as a fine-art term, has come to be associated with prints using fade-resistant archival pigmented inks printed on archival substrates by professional inkjet printers.
Giclee prints represent the highest evolution in printmaking technology. The giclee printing process provides better color accuracy and richer depth of color than other means of art reproduction possible.

Like any fine art print, please be careful with your purchase. Although the cotton material is thick and durable, a lack of tender love and care (TLC, if you will) can ultimately result in unwanted damage.
The matte coating makes for a high-end finish; that being said, be careful with your fingers and nails when touching the ink surface of the giclee Art Print so as to avoid unwanted scratches.

Shipping (2)

Our licensing & shipping capabilities are strictly to North America, i.e. United States, Canada & Mexico. We promise we’re trying to expand all over the world, but all these cool brands want us to be their domestic (N. America) licensees. So we’re all, “Okay.”

We have to keep it within North America or we face a possible bitch slapping by the hand of the law– and most importantly, our awesome licensed partners. Which, although sometimes tempting, we realize is best to avoid.

You’ll get your goods within 5-10 business days from the day you bought it. We don’t keep an inventory, so all your custom creations are made to order. Which is pretty cool. Unless you order on mobile. Which is still cool.

We batch all the orders together for one eco-conscious weekly print, so even if you do order on mobile, you’ll be batched with all the other cool humans who ordered on desktop. Think of it as a group of friends all leaving for vacation together from a Chicagoland warehouse at the same time. Doesn’t that sound nice?

Either way, we’ll send you a Ship Confirmation email including your USPS Tracking Number when it’s en route.

Vinyl Stickers (5)

Our stickers are made of high-grade vinyl and are very easy to apply and remove. Hell, they won’t even leave any damage to your device. They are laminated to give them a clean, glossy finish, as well as repel water and other stain causing agents.Talk about the bee’s knees.

T Shirts and Tank Tops will always ship separately from Posters, Art Prints, Stickers, etc. So if you order a T Shirt and, say, a Sticker Pack, you will receive two separate packages: 1 with your T Shirt, and 1 with your Sticker Pack.

Don’t worry: you will only have to pay one shipping charge. Just don’t be surprised or scared when you get half of your order before the other half. It’ll be there before you know it!
